The Detroit Pistons will try to end two long streaks in one night when they host the Eastern Conference-leading Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night.Detroit hasn’t posted a winning season since it finished 44-38 in 2015-16. The Pistons (41-32) can end that eight-season drought as early as Friday.They are facing a division opponent that has dominated their head-to-head matchups in recent seasons. Cleveland has won the last 12 meetings, including three this season.The Pistons came very close to ending the latter streak on Feb. 5. Cleveland guard Darius Garland heaved in a long 3-pointer at the final buzzer, giving his team a 118-115 victory.Detroit has won the first two contests of its current three-game homestand despite the absence of All-Star Cade Cunningham, who is nursing a bruised left calf. He will be sidelined again on Friday.The Pistons pummeled the San Antonio Spurs 122-96 on Tuesday as reserve guard Marcus Sasser pumped in a career-high 27 points. Sasser had 20 points in Detroit’s previous outing, a 136-130 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday.”He’s a threat whenever the ball is in his hands,” Detroit coach J.B. Bickerstaff said of Sasser. “He has the ability to create space, he can make shots. He can drive to the basket and create fouls. He’s a scorer by nature. With Cade being down, there’s points out there to be had. I thought he did a great job.”There were no expectations that the Pistons would have this type of season after winning just 14 games last season.”(The team) is so locked in right now, they’re only focused on the moment that’s in front of them,” said Bickerstaff, who was fired from his job as Cleveland’s head coach after last season.”I think that’s been part of the reason why they’ve been able to grow and develop, because they just take the challenge that’s in front of them.”They don’t look down the road or at those big picture things. I think their focus is just being dialed in to whatever challenge that’s in front of them and how we prepare for these last nine games.”
